Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 510: In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony
Hefangzhai.
This is a very old pastry shop. Although its business is not particularly big, it is not small either. It is exactly the kind of shop that is the least eye-catching.
Lu Xiaofeng was lying on a snow-white bed, his whole body was frozen, and he kept shivering slightly. He was poisoned by a cold poison. Su Weiyun and Ximen Chuxue were standing beside him.
It was already the early morning of September 15th.
Tonight is the day of the decisive battle agreed upon by Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng.
Su Weiyun suddenly said: "You should get some sleep, then rush to the Forbidden City, recuperate and prepare for the next battle."
Ximen Chuxue fell silent again.
This was originally his plan, but how could he abandon his poisoned friend and go alone?
Su Weiyun said: "He was poisoned by the Snow Spirit Poison from Tianshan Mountain. This poison is not difficult to cure, but the herbs required are a bit complicated."
Ximen Chuixue said: "Yu Luosha's goal is not to kill Lu Xiaofeng, so he must have another purpose."
Su Weiyun said: "His purpose may be to distract you and make you lose the battle with Ye Gucheng."
Ximen Chuixue asked, "He also placed a bet?"
Su Weiyun said: "I have a huge bet with him!"
Ximen Chuixue said: "Then you stay here to take care of Lu Xiaofeng, and I will go to the Forbidden City to fight!"
Su Weiyun shook his head and said, "I will not stay here. When the moon rises at night, I will also go to the imperial city."
Ximen Chuixue asked: "Why?"
Su Weiyun said: "Because I'm afraid someone will do something secretly to disrupt this decisive battle."
Ximen Chuixue said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that someone will secretly do something to Lu Xiaofeng?"
If Su Weiyun left and someone found Lu Xiaofeng, his life would be taken away in a blink of an eye.
Su Weiyun said: "I will let him enter the Forbidden City as well."
Ximen Chuxue stood up suddenly and said, "It's not easy for you to enter and exit the Forbidden City by yourself, and you want to take an unconscious person with you, which is extremely difficult!"
Su Weiyun suddenly picked up Lu Xiaofeng and said leisurely: "Nothing is difficult in the world if you set your mind to it!"
After he said this, he flew into the air like a wild goose, holding his breath and flew more than ten feet away, disappearing into a distant building.
Ximen Chuxue hesitated again and again, and finally did not chase him. Instead, he closed his eyes and calmed down.
…
September 15th.
noon.
Su Weiyun brought Lu Xiaofeng to Baiyun Temple.
When Baiyun Temple's owner, Gu Qingfeng, heard that Su Weiyun was coming, he welcomed him with great ceremony, took him to the inner courtyard, and ordered people to collect the herbs needed to detoxify Lu Xiaofeng.
In the backyard.
The two of them were walking under the paulownia tree.
Su Weiyun said, "Thank you, Master Gu. If Ximen Chuxue wins, I will get 500,000 taels of silver, and I will definitely share some with you then."
Gu Qingfeng was flattered and immediately said, "I don't deserve it. Saving the dying and the wounded is my job. Besides, the one who was poisoned was the hero Lu Xiaofeng."
He paused and continued, "Also... I have an unwelcome request, which was entrusted to me by Lord Yin Xian from the Imperial City Guards."
Su Weiyun asked: "Oh? What's the invitation?"
Gu Qingfeng took out five strange ribbons of different colors that felt as soft as water waves and said, "The guards of the Forbidden City have announced that on the night of September 15th, only those wearing ribbons can enter the Imperial City. Anyone else will be killed without mercy!"
Su Weiyun said: "So that means, apart from Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng, only five people can enter?"
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Of course, this includes Hero Su."
Su Weiyun, Ximen Chuxue, Ye Gucheng and five others, there are only eight people in total who can enter the imperial city.
Gu Qingfeng explained: "Yin Xian and the others have already calculated in detail. If only eight masters enter the imperial city, then they will mobilize the imperial guards and make careful arrangements. Even if an unexpected situation occurs, they will be able to deal with it."
Su Weiyun took the five ribbons and said, "Okay, I'll take this task, but I want to ask the Taoist priest to send Lu Xiaofeng to the imperial city again."
Now Lu Xiaofeng would not be safe anywhere in the capital. Instead, only inside the Forbidden City might be the safest place.
Because no one would have thought that Lu Xiaofeng would be recuperating in the Forbidden City; even if someone really knew, the inner court of the imperial palace was so deep and complex that it would be difficult to find his exact location.
Although Gu Qingfeng was only a Taoist priest from the Baiyun Temple outside the city, he seemed to have no need to think about this forbidden request at all, and replied: "Sure. Yin Xian and the others will definitely meet Master Su's request."
He agreed quickly, confidently and easily.
After Su Weiyun finished speaking, he was about to leave. Gu Qingfeng hurriedly said, "Master Su, please remember to hand the ribbon to the five masters."
"I see."
Su Weiyun took the five ribbons and walked away slowly.
…
September 15th.
night.
The moon has risen.
The moon is so round that it seems right in front of you.
A faint and clear light fell in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Jinshui Yudai River outside the Taihe Gate seemed indescribably mysterious and dignified under the moonlight.
Su Weiyun, wearing her wedding dress , walked in the moonlight and came to the Taihe Gate.
The color of this wedding dress keeps changing under the moonlight; even the angle of the moonlight and the intensity of the light will cause different changes in color .
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
A variety of colors, brilliant and colorful, extremely beautiful.
As long as Su Weiyun turned around slightly, her body suddenly became colorful and radiant as if by magic, as if she had taken away all the beauty of the world and gathered it in one body.
Fortunately, no concubine in the palace saw this scene, otherwise that concubine would have tried every possible means to seize the wedding dress.
Outside Taihe Gate, the wind was light and the clouds were thin.
There were already several people waiting here, and they all had ribbons of the same material around their waists.
There are patrol guards every three steps and sentries every five steps along the way. If it weren't for this color-changing satin, no one would be able to cross the line!
Yin Xian was anxiously waiting for someone at the door, stamping his feet repeatedly. When he saw Su Weiyun, he immediately rushed over as if he had seen a savior.
He didn't care to be surprised by Su Weiyun's strange outfit, but hurriedly asked: "Master Su, did that Gu Qingfeng give all the ribbons to you?"
"yes."
"Did he only give you five ribbons?"
"yes."
Yin Xian made a bitter face, glanced behind him quietly, and said: "But now there are at least fifteen people here. And the number is still increasing. This..."
Su Weiyun said: "I didn't give away any of those five ribbons."
He pointed to his waist, where five ribbons were tied, tightly holding the wide wedding dress together.
Yin Xian was shocked. He pointed at the group of men in black behind him and said, "Then they..."
Su Weiyun said calmly: "Of course there was a thief in your palace. He stole the other ribbon."
Yin Xian's expression became very serious. He invited Su Weiyun into the Taihe Gate and said, "Please come in, Mr. Su, and discuss with the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Palace Guard, Wei Ziyun."
"Very well, I'll go."
Su Weiyun remained calm and composed, as if he had everything under complete control.
